Does anyone have any experience with the amounnt of turret adjustment on these scopes. They seem like a great buy with high quality, however I am concerned with the 1" tube. I want to be able to shoot out to 1000 yards eventually and would probably be using a 20 or 30 moa base. Also anyone have experience with the RZ 1000 reticle? looks really nice. Could anyone compare this to a Nightforce NXS?

Re: Zeiss Conquest turret adjustment
I just sold my 6-20 with the rapid Z1000 reticle. My experience was that once you get over about 500 yards then you will have to add in some correction to the reticle hold overs, even to hit 3MOA targets. Conditions start to vary too much for the reticle to account for. I will be dialing in from a ballistic calculator from here on out.

Thanks Ando. Anyone else own one or know anything about them in comparison to a NF. I doubt I'd be able to get my hands on each side by side to compare

Re: Zeiss Conquest turret adjustment
I shoot both scopes. The Conquest is a great deal for the price. It tracks in 1/4" (IPHY), and is a clockwise turret. The glass is also very good. But it is not a NF. A NF is much more durable and more useful with the reticles they offer. But for a hunting scope with some long range target shooting, the Conquest works fine. Depending on which model you run, will determine the base you will need. The 3.5-10 has ~65 inches of travel, the 4-14 has ~42 inches (44mm) and ~68 inches (50mm), and 6.5-20 has ~45 inches (50mm). If you want the 4-14x44mm or 6.5-20 scope, I'd get a 10 MOA base for it. You will be close to bottoming out the scope with a 20 MOA base. I shoot the 3.5-10x44mm with a zero cant base, and have enough elevation to 1K.
